Since NAV 4.2 I receive email every minute with

INFO:nav.logengine:Reading new log entries

What am I missing?

It is related, yes, and fixed in 4.2.1.

Technically speaking, the logengine logger name was changed from "logengine" to "nav.logengine" in 4.2.0, to ensure it was in the same logging namespace as other NAV programs.

As it turns out, the actual logging the logengine does while processing syslog entries (meta meta meta) is horrible and too verbose, since it is all sent to stdout or stderr. Our quickfix was to revert to the "logengine" logger name for now, then we can look at fixing its actual logging behavior later.
